Labor Day get away

We booked this property to enjoy the local springs on Labor Day and enjoy a get away for our family. The host was fantastic and friendly! The house was immaculate and just as pictured! We enjoyed the pool, some fun board games and just overall much needed downtime. Highly recommend as the springs were only 30 minutes away!

Horse heaven

This place is definitely made for families. The pool, game area, room to move around, etc. If you’re interested at all in seeing horses or showing your children then this is the place because they are all over. Silver springs park is a great hiking area with many food places in Ocala.

Family Fun Vacation

Our family (6 adults and a baby) had a wonderful time in Ocklawaha. This location is quiet and out of the way yet only 30 minutes from shopping and restaurants. We ordered a couple of pizzas and had a great pool day after a couple of hours “in town”. The hosts also provided lots of board games and a mini pool table with ping pong. I loved the fact that the host had the pool toys already inflated as well. They went above our expectations and we were very comfortable!! Great property for a family getaway!
